The birth of 'Hi Ren'.

If that's what 'okay' is for you then I'd love to see what you think outstanding is! I don't think I've ever been as impacted as I have been from the video AND song. It's a masterpiece combined, a true work of art. And it means so much to me 🖤

Ren; "It turned out ok in the end" Ok?! No, it didn't...It turned out absolutely perfect, fantastic and beautiful! I have never felt so moved by any music video in my entire life, as I did when I watched "Hi Ren" for the first time! 😍 I have lost count of how many times I have seen it now. It's a brilliant piece of art that I will never get tired of watching. I simply love it! ❤️

Amazing.

I love The Hunger live raw video from Twitch. It needs to be put on Youtube to see how good rapper can perform their stuff live.

Wow. I had heard bits of that story but what a treat to hear more of your extensive process and frustrating challenges in creating this masterpiece. I am so thankful to have found your music and the amazing and ever-expanding RENegades.

I was just enthralled by the story of how “Hi Ren” almost didn’t happen…that song changed So Much for So Many! I’m not really religious but I have to say, I perceive some divine intervention in the Whole Thing. Huge understatement here, but I’m just so happy and grateful that it actually happened!❤️🤣🔥🙏

I wanted to add Eric B and Rakim to your list

Praus-strength under control; demonstrating power without undue harshness.

We're very very grateful for you as well mate ❤️

Found this fantastic video to your "7 sins"..https://youtu.be/GT6bdgSEOm8?si=8wGoXIJOxDRidtTY

"it turned out ok" ... i think this is a tiny Understatement 😂

I love the behind the scenes footage, more . more 🥰

Feel So Blessed To See These Magical Moments Being Made 🙏🏼👑❤️

So 🔥, amazing brother!

Ted Eason

🥰🥰

So deserved! What a journey for you since then. If that’s what you can achieve with only 4 takes imagine what you can do? its incredible! ❤️

You have made a difference in so many peoples lives just by being you. Nothing to live up to. Just be human. I have met people on my journey through life with the essence you have. They have become fewer and harder to find, or so I thought. You have awakened them/us and given us a place to gather. Thank you for being.

hope you don't mind...my response upon hearing it. Many happy returns @Dona-fu9zh 3 months ago (edited) 27/08 I dont know how else to express, but here goes… Everytime i think of Ren my stomach ties in knots; not because you're handsome or anything, you can call the shots… I have to say this - to be quite clear, for the past 10 days, have driven me near, an existential crisis, i do not lie, and yes the flood of tears, caught me by surprise… Who is this guy, in my feed, thinking now was he in there, in my hour of need… No. i had deniere danse the week b4, that took me on a gigantic ride for sure… then dammed/blood money popped into my head, Skynews reporting, rodriguez was dead… you know what its like to surf the tube, anything is possible and im just a newb… so all is calm and quiet after a year of shock, life for understanding then came the knock… first came violets tale…i could relate…then came money game…listen better, later date… morning coach reacts to hi ren…4 and half mins in…thought whoa, whats this all about, mini mr EM…in your hospital gown the cuckoos flown in… but that first note on guitar, just blew me away, then the ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh intonation?? fixed my gaze… then the duel between, light and dark began, is this a mere mortal or a god of a man…sorry em stand aside; Ren a mightier plan. To finish with soliloquy, is that the word, to consolidate the message, that we all just heard…a master piece of wordery, a spell cast far and wide, as we share the love of Ren, his light to cast aside…the darkness that's created when we choose to run or hide. Since going on this journey into the rendom rabbit hole, an overwhelming heartache has taken much its toll, your depth of understanding is immeasurable to behold, wise beyond your years gees only 33 years old. I feel more calmer for writing this; my mind a constant tizz, i cant believe how long you lived, on planet Earth like this…who are you REN, where what why when, i bought your CD a constant friend…well hell yeah, Ill share the love as loud as i can be, while im cruising down the street watching you on MTV…is that still going. Love ya REN yes believe in the pen…mightier than the sword…F!A music, poetry, you are magician…you take care…beautiful friends and family people surround you…fthank you… LOVE YOU REN…thank you for opening my heart…a healer as well…please dont whip out a harmonica…my heart could not take it. : )) PS Warning...listen in small doses.💘💘💘 now i feel a little more normal.

Congrats Ren. So happy for you. And so happy that I stumbled on to Hi Ren watching the Cartier Family reactions. This has been the hardest year of my life, and that song struck me to the deepest nerve. Love you. Love this community.

When I was surching for some new artists for my festival the Algorithmus always showed me the guy in the hospitalrope. 😂 And I thought. Oh man I can't waste my time with this and switched on. Til it get's me on my nerves. And I played it. And I lost the ground. I was at this point where every organizer comes when it all feels like : why the hell, I'm doing this shxxx? There are no new talents on this planet. I heard all of your stuff :trick the fox, the big push and your solo stuff and thought :thank you god for this exemple! The world of art is'nt lost. And I loved Hi Ren most. Thank you man. For all the lil doors you swing in me and the other ppl. Now I'm one of your german #rabbithole - big sistas and infect everyone around me. 😜❤️🖤

Im loving all this BTS content!!♥️♥️♥️♥️🐷

I love this song so much. That's it! I've decided HiReniversary has to be an annual thing. Maybe I'll put little wheelchairs and pig ornaments in my Christmas tree and dance around singing OoooOOOoOOoooOOoooOoooOo. My neighbours wouldn't know what to think.

Natasha 🇨🇦

I found hi ren in the February now I a huge fan I bang out rens tunes in me little motor . spitting our barrs know the songs word for word . I'm 58 with bpd and severe ptsd iv found the perfect way to explain my mental illness through playing rens music to the doctor . psychologist. mental health nurse and everyone else . I don't have to go over my symptoms millions of times .ren has changed my life for the way better simple as that 💯

Translations ... absolutely. The truth the lyrics have isn't bound by language. It's us. It's ... just us.

I am happy and thankful for Hi Ren opening the door for me into your music! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

There's some kind of lesson there. "Que sera sera." Or "History has its eyes on you." Or "Sometimes you just have to say 'what the fuck!'" Or... All I know is that everything it meant to you it has meant to millions of people, and I'm glad you persisted even though you felt discouraged. Wait! Maybe that's the lesson!

Julie A

Hi Ren has got to be one of the most important pieces of art of our generation. I remember one of the early reactors saying something like "this has to be translated into every language and broadcast to everyone in the world right now" and I can't agree more. This song and this performance is just brilliant and will be livibg it's own life for a very very long time. 💖

For some reason I love the fact that all these things went wrong and you didn’t feel like you got the shot and then wham it goes viral….it’s bloody brilliant. Well done 👏 a masterpiece 🫶

Lat's go!😁💙

The theatre tragic in me just salivates at these glimpses behind the curtain. “It turned out ok” - the biggest understatement ever. You have every right to be proud of this song and all it represents. ❤️

Watching you smash through Hi Ren at lightning speed was absolutely mind blowing. It's easy to assume that the final version had some sort of trickery in the production which I'm sure there was to produce the sound quality but the way you effortlessly spat it out here was very special indeed. It's crazy to think that I could be more impressed with your talent but there you fucking go. Happy Birthday Hi Ren.

Happy 1 year HiReniversary! What a year it has been. So so proud of everything you have achieved this year alone, it’s insane. I hope you and the family have a wonderful Xmas 🖤🖤

❤️

Becc61

hear hear.

blew me away...sensory overload of welcome to Ren, feels like ages ago as learnt, and listened to so much ... but only a few months past...thank you Ren an amazing roller coaster rabbit hole ride you've taken us on...can now carry you anywhere,well console of car, driving being much more pleasurable, and cool mentioning you...great when someone recognises REN...(great name...like all the play, even got a day of the week...Rensday, no, no dear Wednesday), so maybe it is asign of the times...like 90 secs to midnight??? anyway far out dude, youve made or more pointedly make my day...if i was in your shoes id be well chuffed; such charismatic likability...i mean everything is just so beautiful about you...i don't need o apologizes...fels like im fawning but cause so many other also express adulation, i dont feel as self conscious...truly remarkable...i hope you are happy, or as happy as can be, cause yeah humans suck sometimes...ok most of the time...not true...but we can do better , need to...loook around a lot of good still left...see ya Ren xx relax, be kind to yourself we need you.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS! I’ve been dying for Hi Ren BTS since I first saw it. ❤️

Happy 'Hi Ren'niversary! Thanks so much for sharing the BTS for this video and the info about the shoot! I appreciate that you are so open about the frustration you felt at being rushed. Unfortunately, self-doubt (often amplified by perfectionist tendencies) can really weigh on us when we feel like we didn't do something quite right or the way we envisioned it. However, in this case, I do wonder if the anxiety about the situation actually helped bring the feeling of the song more to the forefront. Regardless, the end result is amazing! Please continue to bring us thought provoking, healing, & fun music! And please keep giving us an inside peek as you continue to make beautiful music! Merry Christmas and safe travels home!

Amanda Nott

Amazing how Sick Boi became #1 even without this Masterpiece that's touched tens of millions. It definitively saved me...❤️

So cool to see you tell the story of the video! and you say "it turned out OK" HAHAHAHA! just OK! :p It's freaking AMAZING!! A masterpiece!

I ❤️ the fact you showed it to Vik, for him to clarify it ❤️

I love love behind the scenes!!!

It is such a treat getting the BTS footage! It is amazing to see it when this song really hit so many of us right in the heart!

As a musician since the 1960's, I have to say that discovering Hi Ren through the Charismatic Voice in March of this year was truly one of the "high notes" of my musical life. I was finally able to share Hi Ren with an old band mate--not quite sure how he'd react to it--and he was also blown away. After listening to a few more of your songs, he said, "NOW I understand why you've been babbling so much about this guy lately." True, I was guilty of babbling about Ren and The Big Push to quite a few people over the last few months. 😂

It definitely may have seemed like things were falling apart but it was only for all the right pieces to fall into place 🧩 The final masterpiece is fucking perfection!

You made a masterpiece, mate. Congratulations all round!

Happy HiReniversary!

Belinda Roberts

HAPPY HAPPY Happiest bloody lovely anniversary my dear boy❣️❣️✌️❣️ My own dear husband told me of Hi Ren back in February & I've been a Ren fiend since. Loved every song & every loving second spent rambling through the rabbit hole of Ren. I've also made some amazing friends through the reactions and discovered other great artists. I'm newly 50 & feel such warmth & love oozing from the Ren community. REN, YOUR FAN BASE IS MASIVE MATE❣️ 🧿♥️IT🕓🫵 Side note =my dear husband, mentioned previously, has been a Kansas City Chiefs fan since he was a wee bairn. 1979, when they went many seasons loved by true fans only.

Thank you for sharing so much of yourself, your life’s journey thus far & that of your amazing friends & talented support team with us. It truly is an honour & a privilege to be part of this phenomenal moment in time ❤️

I watched multiple reactors that mentioned Hi Ren before I finally decided to watch it. With all the rave reviews about it, I think I was a little afraid that I'd be let down. I remember when I finished watching it for the first time, I was shattered. Full-on ugly crying. I started getting choled up with the second, "Hi, Ren. I've been taking some time to be distant..." It was the resolve, the tone that said, "I haven't defeated the darkness. I've made peace with it." And by the end of the monolog, "and I must not forget..." I was sobbing. Six weeks later, I looked up and realized I had been watching nothing but Hi Ren reactions during all of my spare time because I wanted to relive that experience through watching others get that same gut-punch expression I know I must have had. The rest is history. Happy Birthday, Hi Ren. Thank you for the amazing music and so much more. ❤️

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Happy 1 year birthday to an amazing song that changed the lives of so many people! Thank you for this insight into the filming of this masterpiece and congrats for all you have achieved this year!! Love you ❤️❤️❤️

Happy Birthday, Hi Ren! 🎂

I wonder if the landlord has ever seen Hi Ren on YT!? Congratulations on this very special Anniversary ❤️ YT algorithm showed me Hi Ren on Rosalie Reacts and diving into your catalog and all the fun that followed with Sick Boi just made my 2023 ! Thank you Ren🤍🪽✨😘

All that practice paid off! “It turned out ok” hahaha I’d say so!😅 I probably wouldn’t have found you if not for reactors reacting to Hi Ren. I’m very grateful for the doors it opened for you! And glad you shared this to celebrate 1 year!

Happy Anniversary!!! The most amazing song I've ever heard/watched. Thank you.

I still can’t get over how I discovered you through Hi Ren on a YouTube suggestion and yet I live in Brighton and go to New Road every day and had never seen you or the guys from The Big Push. I’m sure there’s plenty of future fans like me around the world who have yet to discover you. Wishing you an incredibly more successful 2024, you deserve it! You’ve already accomplished so much and have really made a difference and impact on this world. You should be so proud of yourself. Well done Ren 🎄👏🏻🥳

This is a brilliant BTS! This is the song that plays in my head at night and when I wake up. Love seeing the process. Much love. 🤘🏻🖤

12 months ago I clicked on this artist preforming a song about mental health .. not a style of music I normally connect with. It was weird and jarring at first but this song said a lot.. it opened many doors for me to explore and gave me a new appreciation for the genre…. And guess what I’m still here it been an amazing ride I look forward to what’s next

Oh what a treat Suzie .

I know this song was so important for you and I just want to say thank you for all your music it's changed my life ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I hope by Hi Ren's next birthday it will have reached everyone's ears and hearts in this big old crazy planet of ours and maybe have the an enlightening effect like it did me .. I listen and/or watch it and all of your other songs on shuffle everyday plus watch reactors whenever I can hoping to see it change them in some way like it did me .. Thanku again for sharing with us ,we all really do love you for it ,I feel it and see it with every comment I read .. xo 🥰

What a wonderful glimpse behind the scenes! Thank you!❤️

That was really fun to watch. Happy one year of Hi Ren.

Ren you are amazing, I am in Brighton this weekend to see where you performed..even did the walk you did for Bittersweet Symphony lol 🤣 Hope you have a great Xmas ❤️

You should be very very proud of that video, performance, song, all of it 🤗💜🐷

FerretMom

Happy HiReniversary Ren

Can't believe it's been a whole year already... I've had such a brilliant year finding all your music, watching so many different reactors viewing your songs and joining the Rabbit Hole on Facebook... Yeah it's been a pretty amazing year for me as well 🤩🤩

@Ren Good to hear the backstory of Hi Ren. Glad you persevered through the disappointment you felt after the shoot/before leaving for Canada. I tend to perform better when there is a fast approaching deadline and the stress/anxiety that comes with it. -- Not a recommended workflow, but in hindsight it's not uncommon success story. - - You have a good team around you too. Thanks for sharing. Cheers

Thanks - I'll add them to the list!

Happy HiRenniversary! I listened to that song again and again and again, and still listen to it. I want to imprint it in my DNA, so that the next time I shall fall (of course I will…), it will be in me, and I will hopefully hear that voice telling me to loosen the noose on the rope, to soften, and to dance with my darkness. By putting it all out, heart and gut and all, you give us the opportunity to do the same. It is as cathartic for you than for us. Thank you seems so weak to express how I feel but I’ll say it anyway, having no other words. Thank you Ren. ❤️🙏☀️ Wish you the best!

Just amazing mate

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Happy one year anniversary! 🎉🎸🎵❤️

Enjoy the journey I'm sure many will suggest artists. A Tribe Called Quest will be my contribution to your many suggestions

"Shook-up the whole world beneath us", indeed.

Venbee sings Gutter. And I'm on the other side of the Ren "Gateway" - just now starting to explore the world of rap. 🙂

Happy 1. Birthday, Hi Ren! 🎂 The instrumentation and the visuals make this performance so timeless that it will change lives even in 100 years. ✌️❤️

It is sort of funny for me to have found you early last spring and watch you grow at such a tremendous pace. My son is also a musician, and 2 years older than you. He found music around 12ish, after years of being in sports. I have been his biggest cheerleader and when he was young, I was the band Mom. Watching you grow, has been almost like watching my son. I don't mean this to sound weird, but I am proud of you. You have literally changed the world and peoples lives. I think of that often and wonder, if you realize and how heavy is that burden. Enjoy this time in your life and the success that you have worked so hard for. We all love you and want nothing but greatness for you. Xo

Happy birthday Hi Ren! This song is an absolute master piece with its own rules, which will be noted in years to come. It will be held in high esteem and noted for its originality, just like other classics such as Bohemian Rhapsody 👌 ✨️ Thanks for sharing such a treat to see BTS 💗

I know that self-critical crushing feeling you can get when something you created isn't as good as you wanted. I'm so glad you gave it a chance!! Hi Ren is an amazing peace conceptually, emotionally, lyrically, and musically!

Hi Ren was my introduction into the Reniverse. I sat there silent with raging emotions thinking “WTF did I just see and why did it affect me so much”. Let a day pass, watched it again - and again - emotions flooded. Same on the third day. Then found Chalk Outlines. Had it on repeat for a week. The rest is history. Can’t wait for what’s to come! Take care and keep on creating! We’re all here for the long run! ❤️

This song is like hand reaching to everyone from their devices. Glad you didn't let feeling defeated after the shoot hold you back from releasing it. <3 xo.

Tanya TMS

Happy anniversary! Thst one's going right down into music history books, man! Congrats! Big love to you and the whole crew! Magic!

Jack

Wow!! That was a treat and a half!! ☺️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💕 Thanks so much for sharing this part of the process Ren! I'm forever grateful to Justin Hawkins for doing a video on Hi Ren otherwise I would have had to wait a bit longer to discover you! Ren you and Jeff Buckley are my favourite musicians and I'm thrilled to have the chance to support you in some way. Keep being you mate... and happy 1 year anniversary to Hi Ren!! 🔥🎂🥳🎸🎊 🎤 🎉 🎶 🎈💕

Hi Ren speed run.

Martin

Thank you for sharing this

Ren Boi Ren Boi... That is all

I must have viewed Hi ren 100 times mostly reactions as its so obvious that it is a work of art. It gives such an insight to Rens journey thus far and the broard appreciation its gained.

The song that rewrote the rules

Happy Reniversary

Alexis Shrimpton

I made a tiktok video to hi Ren ❤️ and people were a little uncomfortable with the energy that is expressed in this video. I realized people were uncomfortable because it's the Shadow self coming through. Everyone hides the Shadow self so when someone who is actually balanced with it, inner dark and light, someone who can express it who has gone through the mental hell to accept it. Frightens those who witness it, because they don't want their Shadow self to come forward

❤️

💡🧑‍🦽🐷🎭♿🖤🌚🌞🦵🤍☯️🫂👏🎬

All good things come to those who wait😌…To me Ren, you really are the knees of the bees 🐝 and the absolute bollox of the dog 🍒

You are amazing Ren. 💙🩵💛🧡💜💚❤️

The difference a year makes - well deserved. Hope 2024 is even more amazing

DawnAW

I've said a couple other times that Ren is my Gateway artist because I only used to listen to rap. I would have never listened to a singer let alone a female singer and Ren has got me doing that with Chinchilla and Eden Nash and that one that does Gutter... I'm sorry her name escapes me at the moment

Alright I’ve now watched both todays Patreon postings. Happy Birthday Hi Ren! Congrats!!! Onward and upward from here. The sky is the limit! Keep on taking care of yourself. Big hugs!

Hi Ren, like a lot of others in the community, was my gateway into your music. A friend shared your video with me in January and that was me on the Ren train and what a ride it has been! Thank you so much for letting us in to see behind the curtain of this piece of art and for sharing your reflections with us as probably the craziest year you and many of us have had comes to a close. Here’s to seeing what 2024 has in store. Hope you have a restful Christmas. Safe travels. 💜

You ARE shaking the whole world beneath us!

The world needs REN but i wouldn't wish fame on anyone. It's a lot. But he has a message that can help heal.. he already is. Sending you all love, peace, and healing... Portland, OR https://www.snapchat.com/add/joyouspirit

Love to you and your team! Fabulous! 🩵

Super cool story. Thanks for sharing. The raw element is perfect perhaps it would be overdone if you had more time. Meant to be ☺️Happy 1YA

Awesome! Happy birthday to Hi Ren and happy anniversary to you! This song really changed my life for the better so thank you for this! 🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼

Thanks for this! Tribulation bred great success! Seems you lot were always flying by the seat of your pants and dealing with adversity and maybe that bit of stress was the ticket. Anyway add my congratulations to all the rest

Thank you! ❤️ Happy anniversary Hi Ren! It's been an amazing ride so far, so excited over what's next 😍

im wondering what happened to the iconic wheelchair...

Really loving these bts shares. Thank you

River N

How easily you could have put this project on the shelf for another year, or not felt compelled in the days leading up to the shoot to practice in order for the music to become second nature. How the landlord gave just 30 minutes extra which allowed only enough time to capture what was needed. The unfolding of Hi Ren is pure divine timing, and let not the sense of irony of the universe fall flat, that the song introducing Ren to so many new people was “Hi Ren 👋”

Happy Anniversary, Ren!! This has been one hell of a ride and I’m so glad I’ve been able to experience it for the last half ~and most exciting part~ of it. Thank you for being so transparent, supportive, understanding, and encouraging to all of us. Thank you for creating music that speaks to the soul and makes {me} seem as though it was written specifically FOR me and ABOUT me. I can never thank you enough how much your music has gotten me through some difficult times ~i.e. Mon after release of Sick Boi I had steroid injections in my back and I had the music playing in my ears distracting me from the pain… and it helped so much compared to the previous ones I had in the past!! I can’t wait to see what this next year brings for you. Congratulations on all of your achievements, you deserve them!! It’s only up from here, my friend!!💚

Loving these bts- hope you’re having a good Sunday 💜

Lulubelle

Here's to a happy one year anniversary 🥰💜✨️

Hi Ren was the very first song I heard from you. Which opened up the flood gates of your music for me. This was awesome to see. Thank you for sharing.

WONDERFUL....THANK YOU Ren, I am eternally grateful for this song and for you! You are making more difference than you could ever know, bringing hope and light to this strange world we're living in 💙

Forever my #1 song. This introduced me to you and then suddenly I was falling down this magnificent rabbit hole. You are an amazing human. 🖤🖤

happy birfday bb! it's been said before but bears repeating: your courage and vulnerability is such a bright light and beacon of hope in this tumultuous impermanence we call life. the attention to detail, scenic design and atmosphere will forever blow me away. lessons learned from your reflection... always bring materials to block out natural light from windows, expect the unexpected when guerrilla filmmaking and always trust your intuition 😽

Sometimes the best things come out of unplanned chaos :) Well deserved

You could hear that you were somehow having a cold."

Love this! This is one of my favourite tunes..... It's amazing!!

🤘🤯

J D

Love it! Also, you practicing the intro for a month so you've got it right anytime/every time. (It paid off!)

Just wow!! ❤️🙏

So even the song was a case of beauty through adversity! It's really appropriate for the audience it touched yhe deepest. So many layers of meaning in life. Big hug

It’s really cool to see this. I think we need to appreciate the time, effort, thought, and planning that goes into awesome art like this..plus a little bit of luck occasionally. Love this.

Thank you for this!! All of that kinda just makes that song all the more impressive and meaningful. I think in hindsight it actually what made it what it is. The health, the Lyme disease, miss diagnosis all where and are the chaos of it. The calm during storm is the hope of it. Even a year later this song is still ringing hope in others. Thank you for being you.

You said it. Happy Anniversary to Hi Ren!

Happy Anniversary to "Hi Ren"!

Thank you for sharing that with us! ❤️

Vik wasn’t wrong! Glad you’ve had such a successful year and it’s been so well deserved!

I’ll never forget how I felt when I first heard that song and saw that video. One driving feeling I did have was, who is this guy? I have to know more about him. Thus my deep dive into your music and it hasn’t stopped. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for sharing this with us Ren. Really appreciate seeing and hearing what goes into the making and also the thought process. Your baby is a real beauty!!! Hope you have the BEST Xmas with your family and friends and really get to unplug and unwind!! 2023 the year of Ren to continue into 2024. So bloody excited for it 🙌🥰

Congratulations Ren & team , thank you for the backstory of the video it is still a fabulous video with a powerful message and you all should be very proud … sending 💕 love ..Bev

I love this story - it feels like a life lesson. Happy anniversary to Hi Ren! You've made a difference in a lot of lives with that song.

This was amazing I am so glad you are showing BTS footage it makes me appreciate what you and your team can do .happy HiRenaversary❤️

Thanks for sharing this Ren, I love all the BTS stuff. What a massive door opened for you, and for so many others. I know how much it spoke to me and so many others. Happy Hi Ren anniversary xx

hello ren, dear. i normally wouldn't presume to write to you directly, but i wanted you to know something. no pity party wanted, but i so look forward to sunday and your posts!! i'm 72 yrs old, sick, live alone. BUT, this handsome kind talented soul touches base with me and i'm no longer alone. thanks, son!!!!!!!!!! kathleen

It’s brilliant and the meticulous planning and rehearsing clearly paid off

Debbie Greene

We are so lucky for you and all the amazing people around you. There are not many performers who share themselves as you do. Love you.

Really enjoyed watching this! I’ve just turned 60, grew up during the 70s which was an amazing time for music but, since then, nothing has truly blown me away until I saw Hi Ren. Everything you do is inspiring and puts everything I do into perspective! Thank you!

Thank you! What a birth it's been. We can definitely see how deeply intentional every expression, every shift in voice, every note. Absolutely exquisite! PS. That moment when you shift from spoken to 'so carry the man I become when I sing at the top of my lungs' Chills Every. Single Time! Bless you!

Fascinating

Ren = Time.... he's just more Clockwork than Orange 🍊 I could set my watch by his timing.... Clock of the Walk!

Fascinating!!! Thank you so much for the “peek behind the curtain”. ✨

Thank you

❤️”Hi Ren”was the catalyst for bringing light and hope into my life this year, thank you for being so vulnerable to create this masterpiece. I hope you’re doing well Ren.

🌹🦇🌹🦇🌹🦇🌹

This is so cool!! It’s kind of amazing that an experience that was so stressful ended up with the most amazing piece of art that introduced you to so many of us.

We love you, Ren! ❤️
